THE COAST CREW are major market professionals who came to Mendocino County to do Real Radio. The call letters left behind include the legends of West Coast Rock from the beginnings of FM Rock to today, stations like KMPX, KSAN, KLOS, KMEL, and KLSX.

Our morning show on THE COAST features the "Dean of Mendocino County News Directors", Joe Regelski, a veteran on San Francisco radio, including KMEL, KNBR, THE QUAKE and THE CITY. Joe is the only local newsperson to cover all the important governmental and civic meetings, presenting factual, timely accounts of all the events of importance to our audience.

Scott McConnell joins Regelski  as morning host and is also the newest member of The Coast Crew. A veteran of legendary album stations including KMET and WXRT.

Kate Hayes is on THE COAST middays.  She is a nationally known voice and a veteran programmer and air personality at stations in San Francisco and Los Angeles like KSAN, THE CITY, KQPT "THE POINT", KLSX and more... her voice makes listeners tune in, but they stay for her knowledge of the music, the community and her one-on-one style. Kate one of five Small Market Personality of the year for 2007.  In 2008, Kate was nominated as FMQB Triple A Music Director of The Year for Markets 51+ which is for helping to pick the newer music you're learning to love.

Anchoring afternoons on THE COAST is long time Mendocino Coast resident
Marie Thompson
, whose resume includes radio and television gigs in Reno and Seattle. Marie brings cleverness and humor to her show, and she’s really good at soccer and a soccer mom too.

Nights on THE COAST belong to co-owner, Tom Yates. His dry wit and musical knowledge come from his long history in radio and major market successes, including being the first Program Director of KLOS, plus programming KMPX, KSAN, THE CITY and KLSX, and working as a national consultant The nightly specials and Tom's own "LOCAL LICKS" program keep listeners to the wee hours.  Tom also hosts the longest running Beatles show in Northern California Sunday mornings at 8am "Breakfast with the Beatles".

Sunday Morning Joe, Joe Seta - lets Tom sleep in a little Sundays. Regularly heard on  THE COAST  right before Breakfast with the Beatles and fills in brilliantly covering for vacations.

And on the late side of Sunday's, co-owner, Vicky Watts is your host for the evening.

We also have to mention our Engineer, Bill Rett.... if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here. And he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the music. He says that THE COAST is the last of the Real Radio Stations.

THE COAST is Real Radio .... programmed by long time professionals and hosted by people who just love music.
